Hawaiian Hassleback Chicken
Today’s recipe is literally easier than picking up take out!
Only 4 ingredients, boneless chicken thighs,
pineapple, prosciutto and BBQ sauce
Sauté prosciutto in a frying pan to render the fat
drain on paper towels
Make 4-5 deep cuts across each chicken thigh

This looks fun, delicious and very different. Definitely need to try this one!
Thanks Jeanie, so easy!
This does sound fun and so easy to make. I like that there only a few ingredients to make it. Thanks for mentioning me with the corn muffins to go with that meal. I hope all is well with you.
Thank you Julie, and I love your muffins!

Good morning, Jenna! This chicken dish sounds yummy! I’m always looking for new ways to use chicken. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Wishing you a wonderful day!

Like Shannon said, I am always looking for new ways to use chicken. This looks delicious! Happy Tuesday, Jenna!
Thanks Pam!
Oh this does look so good Jenna, and so easy to make. The addition of the prosciutto is fabulous. I’m definitely going to try this one! Love the chicken paintings too – such a smile over the sunflowers in the tail lol. Hope you are having a great day!
Thanks Kim, enjoy!!
The chicken looks good but I like the idea of the broccoli slaw to mix up the menu a bit.
Thanks Linda, the Broccoli Slaw makes a nice contrast
What an easy, summery meal, Jenna! I will try this. I was just thinking yesterday about a favorite chicken thigh recipe that I got from you that has hoisin sauce and sweet chili sauce I believe. I want to make that again.
Thanks Kitty, it could’t be easier! I also love the chicken with hoisin and sweet chili sauce, it’s very popular at our house!
The taste of summer, any time of the year – comfort food at its finest!
Thanks Mary, such an easy, no sweat dinner!
So flavorful Jenna! I bet you do this in the slow cooker and save yourself from having to turn on the oven. Love your chef rooster! ♥
